GP's, NHS & sportsmen - a rant

The cost isnt the issue here. A few £20 sessions may be extremely difficult to fund if you are unwaged or a low earner who runs because it's a cheap sport.
£3000 a term is a huge amount in comparison but not if you are a top businessman or football star or even a barrister or a doctor.

I'm not defending or attacking GPs.

Just saying if you have an injury which affects your running go to a physio or an osteopath or a chiropractor or whatever. I doubt Shane Warne goes to his GP, or Kluft or Gebreselasie. I doubt you will either in future, Moley:)

Mind you some are better than others. My favorite Physio died a while ago so injuries are more of a worry.

How do you manage to reply so quick Chris?

Other forums have email notification of a reply on topics I am watching
but I havent seen how to do this on here. Are you just on the 'puter the whole time? Surely not with the youngster you have there.

As I asked on a previous thread, re Mountain Rescue Teams, did you have a challenging childhood YT.:confused:

What thread could we start that will bring the positive side out?:)
